The Fourth Great Bandit Wang Ming commanded a fearsome army known as the Barbarian War Cavalry. Though only three hundred strong, this force had always been invincible; when united, they could rival a Saint Lord-level supreme powerhouse.
This army had long been a name that struck terror into hearts, one of Wang Ming's most powerful weapons. It was surprising that Wang Ming had even lent out this core force today.
Especially since the Barbarian War Cavalry only ever took orders from their master Wang Ming alone. Though they were somewhat surprised by his words, no one objected, for their master's command was everything.
Ye Chen did not decline, for he knew the Eight Great Bandits of Black Sky looked out for each other and were not hostile, at least within Black Sky City. Moreover, Wang Ming was a Saint Lord-level powerhouse, so there was no need for worry.
His gaze then swept over the three hundred Barbarian War Cavalry. Each was broad-shouldered and powerfully built, clad in heavy divine armor, wielding spiked clubs. Their auras soared to the heavens, their blood energy roiling, imposing a terrifying pressure as if the entire sky were bearing down, making one tremble and shudder!
The hundred Demonic God Cavalry were fearsome enough to suppress a Demi-Saint wielding a revived Saint weapon, but compared to the Barbarian War Cavalry before them, they fell far short—not just in numbers, but in individual strength.
It was evident that every warrior of the Barbarian War Cavalry was a true elite fighter, as if emerging from ancient barbaric times, capable of slaughtering through any obstacle.
Wang Ming looked at the three hundred Barbarian War Cavalry. Under their master's gaze, all immediately stood solemnly at attention, unified in posture, focused and ready.
"Your mission this time is to protect him well," Wang Ming pointed at Ye Chen, saying seriously. "He is someone very important to me. I will not allow any threat to his life. Your primary purpose in going to the Domain War battlefield is to ensure his safety, preventing any powerhouse above the seventh heaven of Divine Transformation from attacking him. However, unless absolutely necessary, do not intervene openly. Do not let the enemy know his importance. Understood?"
"Understood!"
A unified roar shook Black Sky City, blood energy exploding, filling heaven and earth. The metropolis seemed on the verge of shattering completely under the force of this shout.
The three hundred Barbarian War Cavalry lived for their master. Wang Ming had personally nurtured them to strength; his command was above all. Even if ordered to die immediately, they would execute it without hesitation.
Wang Ming then looked at Ye Chen. "Yue, are you ready?"
Ye Chen smiled and nodded, stepping onto the void and soaring up. "All aboard!"
The three hundred Barbarian War Cavalry immediately charged onto the divine ship, landing quietly on the deck, motionless. Even their mounted savage beasts ceased their roars and growls, remaining very quiet.
Wang Shan landed behind Ye Chen. After Ye Chen nodded to Wang Ming in acknowledgment, he shouted fiercely, "Set off!"
The divine ship trembled, immediately erupting with surging radiance. The entire vessel activated, vast divine power circulating as it swiftly traversed space. In an instant, a flash of light, and it vanished from above the ancient hall, charging toward the Domain War battlefield.
If Black Sky Plains was located in the southernmost part of Qingyang Domain, not far from the neighboring Xiangyang Domain, then the Domain War battlefield between Qingyang Domain and other major domains was in the east, separated by a distance measured in tens of millions of li. Even traveling by divine ship at extreme speed would take at least a month.
Naturally, with Wang Shan using Saint-level divine power to drive this Saint Lord-level divine ship, their departure was even swifter, like a thunderbolt. In an instant, vast stretches of mountains, rivers, and land swept past behind them.
On the divine ship, the three hundred Barbarian War Cavalry remained motionless, very quiet, standing shoulder to shoulder. Even their mounted savage beasts were utterly silent, quietly resting here.
Even when Ye Chen walked past them, they kept their eyes closed, resting, paying him no heed.
Clearly, these Barbarian War Cavalry were quite dissatisfied with Ye Chen, a mere young junior at the Demigod ninth heaven. Even knowing this youth had an extraordinary relationship with their master, their silence on the surface still held some contempt for Ye Chen, thinking he was at most the son of a good friend of Wang Ming's who needed his protection—like Yaya.
Naturally, they all liked Yaya, that lively, innocent girl, and she possessed sufficient strength herself, needing no protection.
As if knowing what these people were thinking, Ye Chen actively approached the three hundred Barbarian War Cavalry, smiling as he said, "Esteemed warriors, am I, Ye Chen, really so unwelcome in your eyes?"
The three Commanders leading the Barbarian War Cavalry opened their eyes. In that instant, thunder seemed to flash within as they looked at Ye Chen, an undercurrent of terrifying mental pressure subtly rippling, rumbling like thunder.
Generally, even a powerhouse dominating the fifth heaven of Divine Transformation wouldn't dare meet their gaze directly, being intimidated. But this young junior before them remained completely unmoved, his gaze as clear and bright as ever, giving them a slight surprise—but only that. They said, "Your Highness overthink. Since we have received our master's command to protect your life, we will brave any danger, even unto death!"
Though the words were such, there wasn't a shred of respect in their tone.
Ye Chen continued with a smile, "So you're saying, since Wang Ming has handed you over to me, you are at my complete disposal."
The three hundred Barbarian War Cavalry instantly opened furious eyes, rage boiling. Were they really to be treated as slaves?
The three hundred Barbarian War Cavalry glared furiously, an extremely terrifying pressure rolling forth. The entire sky rumbled as if about to be crushed apart, bearing down on Ye Chen.
But Ye Chen only gave a cold laugh. Not only was he not intimidated by this fearsome might, but instead, an invincible, supreme will of the Great Dao erupted. Instantly, his black hair danced wildly, his figure standing heroically tall. Nine divine halos appeared one after another, as if a supreme Earth Immortal King had descended to the mortal world, looking down upon all, unstoppable. He withstood the pressure of the three hundred Barbarian War Cavalry, even dissolving it and pressing back.
Wang Shan was stunned. Was this his martial uncle? Truly worthy of being the successor from his previous life; even after reincarnation, he remained unstoppable.
This was the invincible will of the Battle Saint lineage, fearing nothing, capable of shattering heaven and earth, fundamentally unconquerable.
At this moment, the three hundred Barbarian War Cavalry were suppressed, looking at Ye Chen with shock. The latter gazed down at them like a Divine King, coldly stating, "Since you are under my command, from now on, my orders are above all. Understand?"
